The isolated camp site area was not treed and sun was too hot, 95 at 6:30 pm. We left and did not camp.

Excellent campground in a beautiful setting. Campground is clean and has potable water, a dump station. The site we had was level and had a picnic table and fire pit. The only downside was all the barking dogs from other campers. Nothing destroys a relaxing evening at your campsite like half a dozen yappy canines.

We had a good stay except for one issue. A tour bus on two nights of our stay was allowed to reserve a few sites near our campsite. The large group of people and the bus engine running in a non generator part of the campground ruined the wilderness experience. This should not be allowed to happen. There is a group site for them.

Camp host was a rude. A guy we met on a hike offered us a place to stay at his campsite, the host said it was against the rules to have us stay. The man Joseph was a single guest and we only had 2. When we asked him why it was a problem he told us he was going to call the authorities and kick us all out of the campground. I ended up buying a slot next to Joseph to avoid any problems. We had a great night but I wouldn’t go back though, just because of the host.

Very shady, beautiful views. I loved the historic sites within the park. The orchards are magical. A real American treasure. Get a pie! You won’t regret it.

Fruita was great! Our camp host John was super helpful too. Right from the campsite you can get to cool trails with great mix of rocks and river and greenery. Some of everything! And all the deer that come through the campground!

Amazing campground and campsite!! We stayed in site 65 and it was beautiful and private. Close to the amphitheater and bathroom but not so close that there was any noise or foot traffic. We were visited by mule deer and walked over to see the horses. We arrived at Gifford House at 8:40am and were first in line for still-warm pies and cinnamon rolls!!
